I'm a decent cook. People say my food is good. But I can't make up my own recipes. I need to follow a recipe. And since my husband died I just don't have any interest in cooking. I try to cook twice a week and the other days I just make something quick like hot dogs or a veggie burger or something. My son is living on peanut butter sandwiches right now because he doesn't like what I cook. I feel like a bad mom but he's so small and underweight I can't let him not eat.

I used to love cooking but now it's such a chore.
